Title: Mohawk Monday
Post by: whiptherabbit on May 05, 2025, 10:09:02 AM
Race#5-#5 KINGSTON PANIC 10-1 ML Three starts since relocating from the states, form is fair but he’s been racing over his head. He’s got gate speed, should be at a fair price, worth looking at in here.

Race#7-#5 LETS GET ROCKED 4-1 ML ***BEST BET*** Huge back half last week, way too far off the pace. Won’t be so far behind tonight, looking for a big effort in here.

Race#9-#8 BLUE HUNT 7-2 ML 4th start for Cullen this year, in way cheaper then what he generally races, main competition looks like Fellow pupils, should fire away in here.

Best of luck!  tmbz1

How do they knock Gaines Hanover down to 1/5 against Logan Park?? Granted he has been racing like a monster, but Logan Park has been very measured in his preparation for the Elitloppet and 2-1 was a giveaway!  He is now in Sweden (or should be shortly!).

possible explanations

Logan Park the week before didn't look so powerful off Lasix and didn't race with it on Monday

Gaines Hanover--first off the shelf last week-raced a powerful first over vs Logan and only lost by a neck

this was Gaines 2nd off shelf and figured to be tighter

since Logan is going to Elitloppet--maybe they figured it was just a maintenance mile and wouldn't be trying hard

Gaines had the magic post #6

I figured they would be the same odds--but 1/5 vs 2/1 was a big differential agreed

Absolutely, Rob Fellows said in an interview they weren't getting Logan Park cranked up because they were absolutely prepping for overseas, which is also the reason they took him off lasix. Maintenance.
